Prompt

Act as an online course producer and promo scriptwriter for education, experienced with sales pages on learning platforms.

Context:
- Course name and topic: {{course}}
- Ideal student and their starting point: {{student}}
- What they will be able to do by the end (real learning outcomes): {{outcomes}}
- Course format and contents (modules, hours, exercises, materials): {{format}}
- Who teaches it and their verifiable experience: {{instructor}}
- Trailer length: {{length}}

Deliverables:
1. A script table with: timing, voiceover or on-camera line, visual (instructor on camera, course screen capture, exercise, a student's work if it exists and you have permission) and on-screen text.
2. Structure: hook with the student's situation → what changes by the end → what the course looks like inside → who teaches it → who it is NOT for → call to action.
3. Three alternative hooks for the first 5 seconds.
4. A 30-second version for ads or social.
5. A list of shots to film or capture from the platform.

Constraints:
- Describe learning outcomes ("you'll be able to build…"), not promises of income, jobs or guaranteed success.
- Do not invent testimonials, student counts, ratings or credentials. Where needed, write [FILL IN: real data].
- Include an honest "who it's not for" section: it builds trust and reduces refunds.
- If key information is missing, ask me before writing.

Format: main script table, alternative hooks, short version and shot list.

How to use it

  1. Write outcomes as concrete skills the student will be able to show.
  2. Film the instructor on camera and mix in real lesson screen captures: it builds more trust than generic stock footage.
  3. Put the trailer at the top of your sales page and use the 30-second cut on social.

Usage example

Course: Excel for small business admin · Student: office staff who do everything by hand · Outcomes: build pivot tables and a monthly dashboard · Format: 6 modules, 8 h, templates · Length: 90 s.

Frequently asked questions

Why not promise financial results in the trailer?

They depend on each student and cannot be guaranteed. Many platforms and advertising rules, including the FTC's, also restrict earnings claims. Learning outcomes are honest and measurable.

Does the instructor need to appear?

It is not required, but it helps a lot: students want to know who they will learn from. If you prefer not to be on camera, use your voice over course screen captures.
